Market Overview
Acupuncture therapy is an alternative therapy which includes insertion of thin needles at strategic body points by trained professionals and works on the principle of balancing the flow of life energy in the body to treat disease and manage stress for a healthy living. The therapy is gaining acclamation owing to the myriad benefits it offers. Acupuncture helps to release comorbid discomforts. It treats pain associated with chemotherapy in cancer treatment, bone problems like osteoporosis, respiratory issues, migraine, fibromyalgia, and others which are mostly observed incidents in the rising geriatric population. The growing prevalence of gynaecological disorders like menstrual issues, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), pregnancy complications, menopausal related issues, dysmenorrhea, and infertility are influencing people to opt acupuncture therapy as a treatment for releasing pain induced by such problems. Furthermore, the capability of the acupuncture therapy to treat psychological illness and insomnia, disorders which are observed in majority of the world population owing to the modern lifestyle, is anticipated to amplify the acupuncture market growth, globally. Acupuncture therapy is a painless therapy as the needles penetrating only the skin are extremely thin. The escalating demand for such non-invasive therapy among people is expected to spur the global acupuncture market growth.
On the flip side, side effects associated with acupuncture treatment and lack of approved clinical support are challenges that the acupuncture market can encounter which can be responsible for the retarded acupuncture market growth.
